There’s no denying it, temperatures in Dubai are on the rise again and the days are getting hotter. Now is the perfect time to extend the cool winter climate a little longer by popping into our Leisure Deck Bar on the 11th floor, high above the Jumeirah Lakes Towers.

To make it easier for you to enjoy the breezy evenings, we’ve introduced a special Happy Hour promotion:

What are you waiting for? Enjoy cocktails, mocktails, or beers with a view!

We’re very pleased to announce that we have been named as a winner in the 2015 Travelers’ Choice® awards, putting us firmly amongst the top 25% of hotels in the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East.

In the 13th year of the awards, the world’s most outstanding properties were identified in the categories of Top Hotels, Bargain, B&Bs and Inns, Family, Luxury, Romance, and Small Hotels.

We are no stranger to winning Travelers’ Choice® awards having bagged awards in 2012, 2013, and 2014 already.

Travelers’ Choice award winners were determined based on the reviews and opinions of millions of TripAdvisor travelers around the globe.

Our General Manager, Bruno Guilloux, had this to say about the 2015 award:

“We are very pleased to have received this award. This recognition is the result of continuous hard work and dedication from highly committed colleagues. I am delighted to share this success with all of them. As an independently managed and family-owned hotel, we’re very proud to have made it into this list again and would like to say a big thank you to everybody who reviewed us on TripAdvisor.”

Right now, it’s raining in Dubai, but the sun can’t be far away and once things have dried out a bit, they weather will surely be perfect for a visit to one of Dubai’s many parks or beaches. If you’re planning to head outdoors for some relaxation, why not have a picnic? We’ve just launched our Bonnington Picnic Baskets, which come fully equipped with everything needed for a fabulous picnic in the great outdoors:

Our picnic baskets come in two versions, for two or for four people, and they’re full to the brim with bakery items, salads, sandwiches, cheeses, and sweet treats. You can order them via Room Service or speak to any of our Food & Beverage team-members.

Secondly, Thursday night sees the second week of our #glamnightsathealeysbar&terrace take place. Geared towards the city’s stylish party folks, GLAM night offers you the chance to join the pre-party in our Healey’s Bar & Terrace, listen to the award-winning DJ Natalie Brogan, win free drinks, and – to top it all – get a free limousine ride to our partner club later on in the night!

Last week, our friends from Servicexcellenceblog came for the launch night and you can read what they thought here.

Don’t forget about our Family Friday Brunch! It’s an excellent day out, right in the heart of the Jumeirah Lakes Towers:

We took a little break from blogging and have been busy tidying up things behind the scenes. Our blog has a new theme & look and we’re happy to bring you another #guestcommentswednesday with guest comments from our Golden Book.

We’ve also got some great food & beverage offers for you this November, so read on and have a look:

Eid Mubarak from all of here at the Bonnington! We hope you’re enjoying your Eid in Dubai!

We’ve been busy since the end of Ramadan planning offers and events for the autumn and winter. Our festive season program is due out very soon. In the meantime, why not take advantage of our Abu Dhabi F1 offers if you’re planning to attend the races?

As always, our Golden Book has been busy during the past few weeks and here are the latest comments from our guests:

Sometimes, guests don’t just write in our Golden Book, but also share pictures from their time here with us. We’re always thrilled if we receive new submissions for our photo albums on Facebook, Google+, or Pinterest.

Here’s a recent submission from Christopher Pook! Check out his other pictures here – he got up extra early to photograph our local area:

Over the summer months and Ramadan, our Golden Book has been a little more quiet than usual, so here’s a compilation of guest comments from the last two months. Read on and also find out about public transport improvements to our local area and the latest events at our McGettigan’s Pub!

It’s September, which means that Arthur’s Day is coming up. Our friends from McGettigan’s Pub in JLT have lined up some special entertainment for this year’s event. As always, there’s free Guinness, too! Click on the picture for details.

In 2014, our guests and visitors will be able to enjoy better public transport options for their journeys through Dubai! The Dubai Tram project is nearing completion and it’ll only be a short walk from the Bonnington to the nearest tram station. The tram links up with the Metro system at 2 stations, namely Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lakes Towers via footbridges to facilitate the mobility and exchange of passengers between the two transit modes. The Tram will also be linked with the Monorail of The Palm Jumeirah at the entrance of the Palm from Al Sufouh Road.
